A joiners shop (oak) (recto of 701107)
701106 A joiners shop (oak) (recto of 701107) by Tijzer, E. (17th century); David Russell Collection; (add.info.: The man on the left is seemingly working with a jointing plane while the man on the right is working a treadle lathe. Yet, puzzlingly, the saw in the middle foreground shows the new English way of affixing the handle rather than the Dutch pistol grip and the typical English straight cutting edge rather than the Dutch convex one.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A joiners shop (oak)" by Tijzer, E. from the David Russell Collection offers a glimpse into the world of 17th-century craftsmanship. The image showcases two skilled craftsmen engrossed in their work within a traditional workshop setting. On the left, we see a man diligently working with a jointing plane, meticulously shaping and smoothing wooden surfaces. Meanwhile, on the right, another craftsman operates a treadle lathe, skillfully turning wood to create intricate designs and shapes. However, what makes this photograph particularly intriguing is the presence of an English-style saw in the foreground. It deviates from typical Dutch tools with its handle attachment and straight cutting edge instead of the convex one commonly used at that time. The composition beautifully captures not only the artistry involved in woodworking but also highlights cultural influences and cross-pollination between different regions during this period. The baroque ambiance of the workshop adds an air of sophistication to these age-old techniques. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how these dedicated artisans honed their craft with precision and passion. Their laborious efforts showcase not only their mastery but also serve as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to appreciate both Dutch and English woodworking traditions while celebrating timeless craftsmanship that continues to inspire contemporary artisans today.
